Candles: How they're used and what they mean
← Mentorships
Candles are a great light source that doesn't cost much of anything. They are great for when the power goes out, a romantic dinner, a soft ambience, and even in magick. They can really spice things up and make things more fun. We are going to learn how they are used in magick and what the colors are used for and mean. This is an informational page on candles pertaining to magick.
Using and Handling Candles:
Rule #1 to candles-
For starters, if you buy candles for a specific purpose you should stick to using them for that purpose rather than changing the use of them. For example, if you buy candles for the purpose of using them to do your spells and to place upon your alter, then everytime you touch them you are charging them for that purpose. If you were to take these and use them for a different purpose such as a romantic dinner with your significant other, you are wasting the energy and it just shouldn't be done. If there's no other way around it and you must use them for another purpose, then you should try to fit them into the original purpose such as using them to create harmonious relations between you and your partner through magick at dinner.
Rule #2 to candles-
NEVER...EVER...use your sacred candles for any other purpose than what they are intended for. If you're tight on your budget, then it's one thing to re-use your candles on your alter for the same purpose, but not to end up using them just to light a room after they've been used for a specific purpose. A good example...if your power went out and all you had were ritual candles to use, then keep to the purpose and use them for light but at the same time form a circle and meditate within them and connect with the God and Goddess that way it's still sticking to your purpose.
Rule #3 to candles-
This is to make sure that you care for your candles. Always remember that your ritual candles will be with you in circle, spells, alter, and so forth. Always keep them protected and safe when not in use so that they don't get broke, nicks, etc. You want them in as great of condition as possible. Try not to handle them when not in a positive mood as well, so that you don't charge them with negative energy while handling them in a down/upset mood.
